Alexander Dust - Pathetic But Great (2021)

"In the midst of life we are in boredom - In the midst of life we are half dead"
Still written and recorded before lockdown (except one song, guess which one), the songs on this album thematically follow the path that had been taken on "To What Is Left" - and even more now their topicality borders on precognition. Although not an optimistic album, the relentless gloom of the predecessor is broken this time by occasional shafts of light.
It is the big issues once again and Alexander Dust is drawing a personal balance - and it is all as pathetic as it is great.
